I want to see a movie focusing on a squad of stormtroopers as "the good guys", no jedi, no sith, no deserting to the rebellion because of "good guys". Starting at the rise of the empire, with the guys signing up to the academy. I could be grand.

"We never really got used to the new guys."

I think a older Clone Trooper who has to constantly search out a de-aging drug to keep from dying would make a cool story

>"Clones like Commander Cody would have gladly traded several Stormtroopers for just a single clone trooper." >[shows footage of a dozen clone troopers being gunned down like chumps as they rappel out of an elevated position and charge directly at dug-in enemies less than fifty yards away] Me: "Oh, look at me, I'm Commander Cody! Freebirth troops are garbage! Now let's all swan-dive into that meat grinder like _real_ soldiers!"

If the helmet fits, wear it. Join the Stormtrooper Corp today and defend the Empire. Learn how to shoot an E-11 blaster rifle semi-accurately. Find out which droids you should be looking for. Learn how to stay on Darth Vader’s good side. And lastly, learn how to defend important Imperial installations, such as small moon sized battle stations and shield generators.

A solution to the clone cost issue from *a long term perspective* (if the Empire had been planned to last _a thousand years)_ would have been to go the other route and modify clones to have a slower aging process, say double. Those clones would spend even longer being trained and would therefore be even more competent. And they would have a long service life which would recoup cost and further increase their skill over time. Basically go for a top quality over quick results. They wouldn't be line troopers and cannon fodder but special forces and the elite officer corp, those positions that need the most training and expertise. Such a measure would greatly increase the effectiveness of the Imperial war machine as it would set a minimum standard that was very high, and remove hubris and incompetence from the middle ranks. Such a measure makes so much military sense that of course the Empire would never consider it.

If you ever played ewok hunt on star wars battlefront 2 you'd feel for the 15 stormtroopers stuck at night fending off ewoks until a transport comes

Stormtroopers are people too they deserve some respect. Oh how about a national stormtrooper day to celebrate and honor the vets and the fallen.

Above all they were humans = good guys.

I wonder if Stormtroopers ever ended up stationed "locally" on planets where they lived, or if that was more of an Imperial Army trooper thing. If they did, that could be a considerable advantage over a clone trooper - no amount of badass fighting expertise can make up for the intimate knowledge of an place granted by living there your whole life. A clone born and bred on Kamino just wouldn't have that kind of "home turf" advantage. I'm glad that the Tarkin Doctrine keeps getting brought up as being pretty much the worst decision the Empire ever made. They would have had things totally under control if it wasn't for following that nonsense.

The average citizen would have had a better opinion of Stormtroopers if they had just inverted the external appearance of the mouth filter and painted the helmets yellow. And put on _a smiley face._ Conversely those Stormtroopers who highlighted the mouth design with red paint and used dark blue paint around the eyes - they creeped out the populace with their attempts to *_put on a happy face._*

Palpatine wasn't preparing for the yuuzhan vong, he was preparing for the dolphins. That's the why he subjugated Mon cala and kamino because they had the highest dolphin populations

The actors look so cool in their Stormtrooper armor from Rogue One

You compare Clones and Imperial Storm troopers a lot, do a video comparing the imperial storm troopers with the first order storm troopers

With a small list of major adjustments the empire could have been a lot better, not perfect, but a lot better morally.

This title is in the language of the gods. Excited for this video, but about to head into Disneyland to build a lightsaber. Update, definitely worth the price actually. $215 after tax. Most of the hilt is metal, you get a little kyber crystal in it, and the experience is awesome. You'd most likely be paying more online for a similar lightsaber (though you might get a bit more customization that way) and the whole bit is great

I'd love to have a TV series about the Empire; showing people that while Palpatine was evil, the Imperials themselves believed they were there to defend the galaxy from the chaos that had long been ignored even before the rise of the Separatists.

I just wanted to point out that you made a mistake with the title. Otherwise great video.

Did you steel your wife's v-neck? That collar is dddeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeppp..🤣🤣🤣

I appreciate that Generation Tech doesn't just read off the Wookieepedia pace like most Star Wars lore KZfaqrs. Like you guys actually take the time to prepare and research your videos and it shows.

In "Tales of a Bounty Hunter" if I remember right, we actually get to see the life of one. A female trooper too that basically does what one would figure and treat her job as a Stormtrooper as a second identity. An basically acted accordingly. Shes on Sideous Care these days I hear.

For all the mention of stormtroopers being monitored constantly and punished for talking about non-mission topics while on duty, the films sure showed 'troopers being awfully lax even while guarding sensitive areas like Skerrif or the tractor field controls on the Death Star...

I'd really love to get your take on what effects the 'not too fancy' star wars tech (eg repulsor lift) would have on earth society.

Great vid as always. Thanks!

I'm curious now: how did the average citizen see Palpatine? I'd assume as a brave senator who challenged the power-hungry Jedi and was disfigured for his views, who then brought order out of the otherwise chaotic Republic? And how did they view his death? How much of his reputation was tarnished by the Tarkin Doctrine, or did Tarkin get scapegoated as the sole architect of blowing up Alderann and Palpatine came out clean?

Go stormtroopers they protect the galaxy from rebel trash. Great video

Great job again alan. I look forward to your vids.

If you really want to see the stormtroopers as humans and not the faceless evil they are shown to be look up the saddest stormtrooper story. I rewatch it from time to time and it still gets me

Storm Trooper: "We have 2 minutes until we are on leave. Would you like to come to my home planet with me and meet my friends? OH CRAP!"

I think this is actually a really good synopsis of the empire's rise and fall, and what it's earned both praise, and criticism by fans.

I think it's up to debate whether it a strategic mistake to have your clone building in one place because with limited units, I'd argue it's better to have one strongly defended facility than 2 of more more weakly defended facility. Especially against a military many times larger than your own.

Great video

Well done!

Join the empire,explore new worlds,learn valuable skills,bring order and unity to the galaxy,be apart of something join the empire

You are the YongYea of StarWars. lol Keep up the good works!

I just noticed this. The stormtroopers at 9:57 are all wearing stirnpanzer plates. It's an armor plate that you wear on your helmet so that your helmet has even more helmet. It's something the Germans used in World War One. That's the second piece of WW1 gear I noticed in Solo. The first was a Madsen machine gun.

Good Job

I have a theory that the reason those Stormtroopers were talking about weapons and speeders in Rogue One was that other conversations were bad but talking about weapons could be considered "mission critical"

my problem these days with a lot of the star wars media set during the imperial era is that well every time the imperials appear it is the Stormtroopers guarding every outpost or patrolling every city, it takes away from that whole elite unit thing. i mean if they are everywhere on every world then there not really elite are they there just a average standing army. i wish they used the Imperial Army more in the shows,games and such than always the stormtroopers. it would make the arrival of stormtroopers be more of a threat,they should also have them be more competent as well then compared to the normal imperial soldier. For example in the roman Empire in it's prime, they where a town guard and security, then they where the allied and Auxilia troops guarding lost important provinces and borders and such, then finally they where the elite Imperial Roman Legionaries, who where only stationed at important places and where the crisis's where and guarding the most important dangerous borders.

Not related to this video, but it’s an idea for another. What did Leia think about Hans illegal activities? How did a peace seeking “lawful good” and a criminal smuggler work out their differences?

So, I'm just curious, when exactly are you going to make another Clone Wars History video? We haven't had one of those in a couple of months.

Ayyyyyyyye 4hours ago, booowaaaa good videos man, love them all

Can you make a vid on how the imperial army works?

If the helmets had a live feed that means that everytime Ezra took a helmet the Empire could've just tracked the helmets

Alan with the double deep V-neck… I’m not complaining

DePlOy ThE dOlPhIn CoMmAnDoS

What an awesome movie it could be. Perhaps a title like “The 501st an Empire Story”. Set place around the time of Rogue One. 😊

"clones being clones would serve without any complaints" cut and slick: are we a joke to you?

How was the Republic portrayed by Imperial schools/history books?

That v neck though👀

The Empire where the architects of their own destruction.

K look is it just me or are marines kinda similar to stormtroopers just with how they operate

5:52 One of the prisoners is wearing Stormtrooper/Clone armour. I know it was retconned to be Captain Rex, but was that in the original version too?

Much like in the real world, the military can be a way out for someone of a bad situation like poverty or living in the middle nowhere. A steady paycheck, a chance to travel, and free healthcare. I've served (in the actual military) it's not a bad gig.

You say that they were not allowed to converse, but in a new hope, we clearly see them talking about non mission related things. This is the scene where obi Wan is in the reactor room to shut down the tractor beam.

Fin: "I was taken from a family I'll never know. And raised to do one thing. But my first battle, I made a choice. I wasn't gonna kill for them." Guy in ill-fitting shirt: "They wanted to be stormstoopers and they were all loyal."

We need a show about the mid rim uprisings.

You sound tired or sick, you okay, Alan?

Hello Allen. I hope you're having a great day. I love you so much

I love you Allen ❤️

12:09 my man really said “The death of the Emperor” 😂😂😂😂😂😂

ied love to see a film thats following an elite unit of stormtroopers so we can see how good they are when not fighting hero characters with plot armour and aimbots (Han Solo literally shoots a trooper behind him without looking, he points his gun randomly and gets a kill shot, dam aimbotter)

So did clone who survived long enough get to “retire” any word on this?

Interesting shirt there bud...

Points of view of certain people on the stromtrooper corps: 1. Poor person: job opportunity. 2. Patriot: proud way to serve your empire. 3. Clone trooper: change in life. 4. Rebel: enemy. 5. War victim: protecters. 6. Non-human: segregated system 7. Woman: way to prove you're as strong as any man. Star Wars fan: guys who couldn't shoot sh!t.

What happened to the clones too old to fight? Retirement homes?

Where are the clips from?

Reading the title military error there is no Stormtrooper Corp that would mean a Stormtrooper Corporation. Its the Stormtrooper Corps with an S. Which are massive military detachments IRL made by Napoleon which were small armies.

I feel like very many people just see stormtropeers as mindless droids that executed genocides and such. many were just normal people to make a living, and others really believed they could bring good to the Galaxy with the Empire. I hope we will get some more information on the Imperial remnant soon. ALL HAIL TO THE GLORIOUS GALACTIC EMPIRE!!!!

The stormtrooper corps was the Star Wars version of the SS. The stormtroopers swore an oath to the emperor (Palatine) while the SS swore an oath to the Fuhrer (Hitler). Both resisted their enemies even after their nations surrendered and the wars they were fighting came to an end.

the eye sight test for recruited stormtroopers must be really bad I bet its like can you see the moon when its a huge thing in the sky

Wasn't there an old story in a star wars magazine(I had it) where it was the story of the 1st stormtrooper Leia shoots on the tantive IV. He grew up on tatooine and one day went to mos eisly with his grandfather and saw a group of people, curious went over, had look and saw it wad an imperial recruitment stage. Someone asked what happens if they refused and the officer shot the grandfather. Having nothing left the guy having nothing left like Luke joined and went through hash training "you don't matter, you don't count". I put it in the bin with other star wars magazines during a cleanout once because no one else liked star wars and called me weird😭😭😭 If you remember the story or magazine number please say

At this point a 5 minute segment in the next Star Wars movie of a storm trooper taking a big ole dump in to a First Order toilet would be a major improvement.

He said that hundreds of stormtroopers and imperials were vaporized in Jedha. But I’m the film they say all personnel were evacuated.

you wouldn't by any chance suggesting The Roman Empires Legions were like this(or the modern equivalent) ;-))

What would’ve happened had padame ended the war in clone wars pls answer generation tech

What you describe is basically the dominant military doctrine in most countries of the world.

"Industrial accidents"

Don't you mean Tropper Korps? aka TK-421 (why aren't you at your post?).. TK standing for Trooper Korps 421 his designation..

Hey buddy search up operation ghost stories I think you will enjoy

The Rebellion deserves honour!

I would say the tarkin doctrine only failed because the death star was destroyed. If the first death star had survived yavin it probably would of worked. It only failed because without a death star there was nothing to enforce further threats.

Alan my boy throw that shirt away

Maybe make a Fan Film made by Imperial Director Spiel Stevenberg (parody of Steven Spielberg)? I recommend “Ready Rookie One”, a Propaganda film about a poor, yet selfish Child, who joined the Rebel Alliance for all the wrong reasons (note: the release was cancelled due to the Rebel Victory at Endor). However, I don’t mind an earlier work, such as a parody of “Saving Private Ryan” & such.

Wonder if the Kaminos could have accelerate a clones aging could have been reversed after that hit their Maturity after 10 years mastration (20 yrs old clone) so instead of 20 years of usefulness but more like 10 to 80 years of service.

I wonder if Luke had any regrets about having killed over 1 million people. Most of which were just doing there job?

Join the Empire!

What comic book has clones fighting against clones

Use clones to conquer plants. Citizens solders guards. Police departments, etc.

But what about the droid attack on the wookies?

Anybody else noticed that Obi-Wan Kenobi aged a lot quicker than Anakin Skywalker? Do you think Obi-Wan Kenobi was an accidental force sensitive clone trooper?

Did clones suffer from battle fatigue?

5:54 the legion should have immediately stunned the captured terrorists then placed them in a prison barge

I think like in real world many joined to escape their poor planets. Like their recruiting theme ( See and meet interesting people all around the Galaxy.... Then shoot them )

what does alans tatoo say?

careful Alan, your opening comments in the video could trigger space twitter

An aged Pantorian officer: *Slowly looks at imperial slave trade records and looks at his 20th mug of coffee* I hate my life.

I don't know why they stopped using the phase II clone armor the Clones liked it so it's better then stormtrooper armor in combat so keep it palaptine messed in some many ways

The biggest threat to the Empire was itself

There you go that’s a whole movie right there show one storm troopers life, how evil the terrorist look in her eyes.
